King has just spent many months, countless hours, court visits and probably no small amount of cash with the sole intention of not giving the 'Easdale Bloc' a single penny do you really think he's now going to turn round and buy them out? In the offer document it was announced there would be 2 more (at least) rounds of fund raising both of which will result in further dilutions of the 'Easdale Bloc'. King and the Boards strategy is crystal clear: don't give them a penny and dilute them into insignificance. So far as I see it is working like a dream.

What possible reason does King have for giving any of the former Easdale Bloc a single penny?

Pray tell why on earth would King give them as much as a single penny for a single share let alone 22p?

Thought it was 27p anyone paying 47p then would be in an asylum surely?

As did Grampian when STV took it over.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching them this week, very worthy winners too.

I saw her today at the receptionA glass of wine in her handI knew she would meet her connectionAt her feet was her footloose man.....

Same price as the first game.

440 mile round trip for that dirge I need f*&king sectioned for my own good!

As comfortable as we've ever been on a plastic pitch for a long time. Everybody seemed to do their job. Thought the build up to the second goal was excellent. I'd give Candeias MOTM his work ethic is amazing.

Seriously ignore it as its usually just rehashed scum crap like today's offering.

Treat it with the contempt of a politician claiming education is their number one priority!

Yes those who've pumped in their money are just going to sit back and do nothing whilst they watch their endeavours being undone eh? The Club have manipulated Club 1872 into insignificance why the hell should anyone take it seriously? Whatever the question is the answer isn't Club 1872. I find the "Project Fear" aspect to be pathetic and desperate.

The time for Club 1872 to push for a Board seat was when they were needed to purchase Ashley's shares but they f*&ked it up now that ship has sailed. Like it or not they will become less and less relevant with the passing of time as their shareholding decreases with the inevitable dilutions. Club 1872 is simply a dog's breakfast, it could have been the vehicle for fan participation in the Club but the shameful manipulation of events (remind me again how many Rangers First meetings Richard Gough attended whilst he was on the Board?) have rendered it impotent. Being told that they would have to go through the SLO to contact the Board says it all really.

We already have fans funding our transfers (and a hell of a lot more) some with seats on the Board others content to stay out of the limelight.

Best seen in its original form.....

Player ratings: Rangers v Celtic Mark Walker December 30 2018, 12:01am, The Sunday Times Football Jumping for joy: Ryan Jack celebratesRUSSELL CHEYNE Share Save RANGERS Allan McGregor 6/10 Next to nothing to do for almost entire game. Was expected to be kept busy, but easily dealt with Celtic’s one shot on target James Tavernier 7/10 Bombed down right flank as Rangers targeted that position due to Rodgers opting to use Callum McGregor there Connor Goldson 7/10 Shrugged off midweek knock against Hibs. You wouldn’t have known he had been injured. Strolled through game Joe Worrall 7/10 Another warrior at the back. Made a couple of crunching tackles in first half. Another who was surprisingly comfortable Andy halliday 9/10 Set the tone with a crunching early tackle on Olivier Ntcham and grew in stature as the game progressed. Brilliant display Ross McCrorie 8/10 Very effective in a dominant Rangers midfield. Offered protection to his defence and bossed centre of the park Ryan Jack7/10Celebrated his first goal for the club with gusto. One of the major successes in the engine room as they ran over Brown and Ntcham Daniel Candeias 7/10 Linked up superbly with James Tavernier on the right and was a constant threat with his runs. Not quite as effective after the break Scott Arfield 8/10 Drive, determination and desire was massive plus for Rangers. Overshadowed Scott Brown and won their sledging contest too Ryan Kent 9/10 Brilliantly set up the game’s only goal by making Mikael Lustig look amateurish. A constant threat on the left flank Alfredo Morelos 7/10 Relished physical contest and clearly desperate to break his Old Firm scoring duck. He didn’t, but still contributed hugely Substitutes Lassana Coulibaly came on with 19 minutes left to shore things up and slotted in easily while Jon Flanagan replaced Scott Arfield in stoppage time, in a bid to waste time really Total 82/110 --- CELTIC Craig Gordon 7/10 Had no chance with the goal which wrong-footed him, but made series of fine saves. One of few Hoops with pass marks Mikael Lustig 3/10 Completely sold himself for the goal. Spent much of first half complaining about a knock. Subbed at half-time. Pitiful. Dedryck Boyata 2/10 Looked unnerved and always on the verge of making a mistake, which he did... time after time after time. A truly horrific display Filip Benkovic 5/10 Was probably Celtic’s best defender but was forced off just before the interval, which left Celtic even more exposed Callum McGregor 7/10 Utterly wasted at left-back, a baffling decision given he is is arguably the best midfielder in the country just now. Scott Brown 3/10 One of the Celtic skipper’s worst games. Almost scored an own goal, overran and consistently gave the ball away Olivier Ntcham 2/10 Had no understanding with Scott Brown, lost every 50/50 and was completely overwhelmed by the experience. Staggeringly inept. James Forrest 5/10 There was a hush of fear when he got the ball, but like his teammates had a rare poor day and was ineffective in possession Ryan Christie 7/10 Looked Celtic’s most dangerous player by far and came close to levelling in the second half, but had no support at all Scott Sinclair 5/10 Looked dumbstruck at Rangers’ superiority and spent most of the game trying to stem the tide on his flank Mikey Johnston 4/10 It looked too much, too soon for youngster. Got no change from Goldson and Worrall and frankly looked out of his depth. Subbed Substitutes Kristoffer Ajer did well enough, while Anthony Ralston did better than the perpetually complaining Lustig. Odsonne Edouard was last throw of the dice on hour but did nothing Total50/110

Rangers 2 Celtic 1 FGS Morelos

You must have been full of some Christmas spirit as Candeias played every single minute of today's game.

Goldson limping ON to the pitch after half time was absolutely bizarre.

Next time you need just ask.
